They are probably the caterpillar of the cabbage moth. Hand-picking is
usually enough for us; it's better to squish the small eggs usually deposited
on the leaf undersides. Occasionally I send my moth-killer son out with a
badminton racket to swipe at (and sometimes kill) the white moths. Another
strategy is to cover the broccoli with a floating row cover (i.e. Reemay).
And there are agents like BT (baccillus thuringensis [sp?]).
